In 1984, after diligently serving 9 years arbitrating in professional baseball, Matthew followed his desire and went into the acting profession, While moving to New York City in 1986 at the age of 30. He has done very well in the past 40 years, working with award winning directors and cinematographers. Having spent 20 of those years in Los Angeles, he is now back in New York City. His exceptional skill and professionalism are at the top of the mountain. He is most often cast as the "stern principal," the "pragmatic father," or the "head baseball coach"...... who can sing gospel!
